If there is enough light to read a paperback book you can probably read on the iLiad, but you may need to increase the font size in low light. E-Ink really works well with bright natural light, either outside or from a full spectrum light.
For .doc, I suggest converting to .rtf and reading with FBReader because it will reflow the text. You can check this will work on your documents by trying FBReader under Windows. I am assuming it is the content and not the layout you care about. Standard PDFs work ok on the iLiad, but it might be worth trying the Windows MobiPocket Reader's capability to convert PDFs to MOBI (i.e. to reflow the PDF). The MOBI file is readable via FBReader and by the iLiad's MobiPocket Reader.
If you want to make notes on the iLiad, then only PDF will do and you should instead convert your .doc files to .pdf (perhaps after changing the page size to fit the iLiad better).
The standard charger is a travel charger with four snap in plugs. This definitely works in the UK, so I think 220V is ok.
The warranty may be better if you buy in Europe, but either way iRex is a small company and all repairs are shipped back to them.
